UTC Refs will also allow you to wrap tape around the wheels as a traction device but NOT as a fastener. This interpretation seems a little weird to me so I don't know if it will be allowed at every site.
Velcro is NOT allowed.
The best idea is vacuum cleaner hose, which I believe was called sump-pump hose earlier in the thread. Team 500 was generous enough to supply us with a lot of this stuff.
Remember, this will probably change your traction significantly so your driver will need a lot of practice to readjust and your autonomous mode will need to be recalibrated.

at annapolis some teams were required to remove their zip ties
